External White Colour Help and Colorbond Roof Colour
If we have decided on a white render, which Dulux white would you go with (thinking maybe Surfmist) and Ironstone or Basalt Roof ? Photos above are what we like. Our elevation below, will plan to do trims and cladding in Lexicon Quarter.

Help with Colorbond roof colours
Comments (1)It depends where you live. If your in the tropics - choose white if your in Tazzie go dark and all other colours for inbetween. It's your house- choose the colour youLOVE not the one that will DO!...See MoreColorbond roof and weatherboard colour to match old sandstone bricks!
Comments (9)Thank you so much everyone for taking the time to respond. Your first photo siriuskey is the colour scheme I'd love to go with so good to hear that you'd think it would match with the blonde brick. I also like the shale grey roof idea butterflyroof and you're right that you don't see much of the roof at all (mainly when looking out the upstairs bedrooms). The olive green is definitely another possibility to look at oklouise and I've made a note to use 'mid-century' in search terms. Definitely plan to pressure clean bricks and a bit relieved to hear that leaving them is the better option. I'm still finding it hard to imagine a darker grey cladding like monument with the blonde brick debluc but it's certainly been suggested a few times so I'll keep searching for inspiration. Thanks again :) (attached is a photo of a house near us that I like and that has a brownish tinge to the cladding that would hopefully work with our bricks as it seems to work with their sandstone - maybe dune colourbond?)...See MoreHelp choosing external roof colours
Comments (5)There seems to be speckles of black in the bricks. So grey a Try deluxe woodland Grey on gutters and fascias and eaves and suede nouveau trim on the side timbers and windows the latter is a cream colour. These may be old colours I used them 10 years ago....See MoreNeed help with external colours please. keeping ironstone roof and red
Comments (3)You have a smart, crisp home with a traditional style. It looks like your windows are maybe a powder-coated aluminium in white. It is quite a big exercise to paint these as the frames are so narrow. A smooth powder coated finish needs a bit of preparation (without damaging the glass) to prepare it for new paint. Had you considered where your black paint stops? At the moment the frames look like they are the same colour on the outside as the inside as they are powder-coated aluminium. If you paint them black on the outside, then it will look messy if you leave them white on the inside. I would be maintaining the white window frames and spending the money saved on a better finish for your concrete slab verandah. Possibly a deep blue/grey slab finish similar to Ironstone, and pick up the tiled window sills in the same colour. I would also consider painting gutters, fascias, arched beams and posts all in a crisp white, possibly even Dulux Vivid White, to match the window frames. This scheme will be timeless, understated and elegant, and will complement the red terracotta brick and ironstone roof beautifully. You don't need to introduce another colour when you already have two strong colours to compete with. Best of luck Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls/Dr Retro Virtual Visits...See More- 8 years ago
Thank you so much for your help, we ended up being lucky enough to find out the colour of a house we both love a few days ago from the builder and have decided to copy that - (Antique White USA and Monument Roof). Am thinking the trim may be Antique White USA Quarter.

6 years agolast modified: 6 years agoHi There! Would you by any chance have a photo of your house painted? I am painting our brick house white and trying to figure out whether to paint our roof in Monument, Basalt or Charcoal. I'm worried Basalt will throw off blue in the sunlight but then darker roof will take over house. Thanks :)
